Mother and three kids released by Ice after protests from US ‘border czar’s’ hometown

About a thousand people marched outside of Tom Homan's home in village of less than 1,500 after family was detained

A mother and her three children who were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents as part of a sweep in the tiny hometown of the Trump administration's border czar", Tom Homan, have been released following days of outcry from community figures, advocates and protesters calling for their freedom.

Over the weekend, about a thousand protesters marched outside of Homan's home in a small New York village, calling for the release of the family after they were detained last month. The family has not been named or spoken out publicly.
